Today is the one year anniversary of Dennis' brother Kent's death. this has been quite the year and I know it's been very hard on our family. Dennis was so close to Kent. They were together almost every day. I would always say Dennis was the only married bachelor because of how much time he spent with Kent. It amazes me how we all deal with grief. Dennis has had a very hard time overcoming this hurdle, but this is a trial we've had and I'd like to think it has made us stronger. I was having such a hard time in the months before all of this happened dealing with all the changes in my life, going from full-time student/mother to full time mother, jobless, hopeless, chubbier than ever! I was really focusing on myself and how bad things were for me. When Kent passed away, it woke me up a little and something inside said to snap out of it, your husband needs you. I realized that there are bigger trials and things that are more important in this life than worrying about just he here and now. I'm so grateful now for the plan of salvation, and the opportunity that we'll have to be together again as a family someday. We had some very strong spiritual experiences that brought us closer as a family and closer to our Heavenly Father. What a precious experience this life is, it's so fragile, and so important to make good choices. I'm grateful that we have trials to go through to make us stronger. We will always miss Kent, but I'm sure he's so busy now he doesn't have time to miss us! I have such a strong husband, whom I'm so blessed to have. Family and friends, thank you so much for your support and love, we appreciate it so much and love each of you dearly!

I am stunned that it has been a year. I hope that as each day goes by it gets easier and easier.
